Dallas-based Colossal Biosciences announced in May 2026 that it hatched 26 live chicks from 3D-printed titanium artificial eggs — a first-of-its-kind achievement the company says is a stepping stone to reviving the dodo and the South Island giant moa. But independent scientists say the company has released no peer-reviewed data, no hatch-rate statistics, and no clear path from chicken embryos to reconstructing species whose genomes remain incomplete, raising questions about whether a $10 billion de-extinction startup is advancing science or selling spectacle.
